lincoln the great commoner - charles ives lyrics

Loading...

and so he came from the prairie cabin to the capitol
one fair ideal led our chieftain on
he built the rail pile as he built the state
the conscience testing every stroke
to make his deed the measure of the man…
so came our captain with the mighty heart;
and when the step of earthquake shook the house
wrenching rafters from their ancient hold
he hеld the ridge*pole up
and spikеd again the rafters of the home….
he held his place …
he held the long purpose like a growing tree
held on thro’ blame and faltered not at praise
and when he fell in whirlwind
he went down as when a kingly cedar green with boughs
goes down with a great shout, upon the hills!

- charles ives lyrics
